I Am a Tiger
Illustrated by Ross Collins
Published by Macmillan Children’s Books on 16th May 2019
A hilarious and original story about a little mouse with big ideas!
The bold little mouse declares "I am a tiger" and manages to convince a raccoon, a fox, a snake and a bird not only that this is true, but that they are not what they think they are. When a real tiger turns up, can the persuasive and fearless little rodent manage to persuade the tiger that he is the mouse?
